Agreed - it'd be a lot of fun to put him in a headlock, give him a noogie - and ask WTF!?!

We'll take him out for drinks, and that way we can get drunk and ask more obnoxious questions than we normally would.. lol

btw - any sign of Munki or burrito?

Ok, so I'm now more confused.. I thought the One was some sort of supernatural, non-corporeal, omniscient, super-powered Devil. At the beginning of this, we were lead to believe that the One was somehow controlling Rage, and that Rage didn't have a lot of control over himself when he was being inhabited/controlled by the One, with the exception of Jenny...?
This thing has been all over the place so far - and even as some of the pieces are fitting together they still don't seem to fit together or even be related. [/shrug] [/rant]

Bricker, you crazy cat. Well, I know I'm only going to register a) if he's attending for certain and b) when the events page goes up on the site. But perhaps! If I can scrounge up money in time for travel. (Why do all the good conventions have to be in July?!) In the meantime, Port has been oddly quiet today, which is weird because he's usually pretty prompt about emailing back. I guess I'll blame it on the move he was talking about in his last one, though. Bah.

I would say he's probably definitely planning on attending, but my email to him should confirm that one way or the other. Wouldn't it be irritating if this whole thing was just to get people to attend the ARGfest thingy?
On my response to Bricker, I used a 256-bit Rijndael algorithm to encode the reply, rather than his typical use of double letters and misspellings. I didn't use a password to encrypt it, and left him instructions on how to decode it. This is the algorithm I used: MAXA Crypt.

Got another reply from Bricker, and I gotta say, it's confusing me a bit. First of all, why would Val tell Bricker to ask me of all people whether he should accept the invitation to speak at the conference. Hrm - and it looks like I might try to attend the conference as well - I just need to find out what events Bricker is planning on attending so I can register.. unless they're going to pay for me to go with Bricker, lol.

Anyway..

Translation (spelling errors corrected): I googled OOG and assume you mean out-of-game. I'm pretty sure I'll get what you mean and so yes, my question is not about a game. The rest is a bit confusing. At any rate, I trust you through your connection to Val so I will accept the offer. I would be flying up from Santa Rosa, would you be meeting me in Portland or here?

For anyone that's interested, here's the website for ARGfest-O-Con. And the Registration page.

Only 3 more people to go.

I replied to Bricker telling him he should attend the ARGFest, as it'd be good to get his idea(s) out, as well as talking about this one. The conference would be a good way to get new ideas, refine the ones they already have - and so forth.

I also told him he still needs to take us.

Four more (yellowcard was 12/16) and then "the first will be lead", which both confuses and slightly worries me all at the same time.

ETA: our assassinated rabbit image and the 911 recording mix have been taken down from oraclewatch.

Welcome to the brood all those lurkers who are poking their heads silf the warren. We need 5 more...

I don't know what is going to happen then, but we shall see.

Note I am now *registered* lurker: 11/16

Hope I can be of more help in the future, but for now I am content to lurk

Took me three days to catch up with this. Wow! What a ride!

I'm in summer school so I'll probably not be much help, but I'll be watching. Oh, and...

ArlenRage: That was fun. Messy. But fun.

I'd be interested in hearing what Bricker would have to say for himself and this lesson in insanity- interested enough to be tempted to go. Unfortunately, it's going to take place too close to Comic-Con for me to get the opportunity to take another trip out that way.
